Agreed. They cannot (or possibly will not) understand the concept of self-accountability. They don't believe humans capable of a little self-restraint and self-imposed regulation. Possibly because their fear of god is the ONLY thing keeping them from committing wanton vile acts upon humanity, and in reality, they are the REAL demon to be feared - projecting all their hidden desires onto non-believers. Much like a father who is overly possessive of his daughter and her boyfriends because he himself has a devious mind and has treated his own past female conquests with disrespect.
